Is it not to (A)break your bread [a]with the hungry
And (B)bring the homeless poor into the house;
When you see the (C)naked, to cover him;
And not to (D)hide yourself from your own flesh?
Then your (E)light will break out like the dawn,
And your (F)recovery will spring up quickly;
And your (G)righteousness will go before you;
The glory of the (H)Lord will be your rear guard.
Then you will (I)call, and the Lord will answer;
You will cry for help, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you (J)remove the yoke from your midst,
The [b](K)pointing of the finger and (L)speaking wickedness,
10 And if you (M)offer yourself to the hungry
And satisfy the [c]need of the afflicted,
Then your (N)light will rise in darkness,
And your gloom will become like midday.
